T0 all whom it may concern z Be it known that l, WILLIAM J. Klier, aStates ofl America, ayne and `State of Michigan, rave invented egrtainnew and useful lmprovejients in Garbage-Burners, of which the following.i a speciiication, reference being had therein to the accompanyingdrawings.

This invention relates to garbage burners, and more particularly tostoves used as receptacles Jfor garbage, which is consumed is yto theustulation of garbage, moist substances and Waste products wherein theprocess of oalcination is expeditiouslyv and economi-- cally carried on,without disagreeable odors incident to the burning of refuse matters.

Another object' oit niy invention is to provide a garbage burner whereinpositive and reliable means are employed, in a manner hereinafter setforth, to insure thorough calcination of garbage, the process includingthe distribution of heated air until. a starte? of transca'lency visreached that insures''ini" oinerationby a gas darne or similar agent. lncarryingthe process into eiect, provi` sion is made for the expansionand contrac-l tion of such elements as are exposed to meis; j

ture and heat, also for a draft' that ai'i'or'ds a perfect combustionwith a minimum expenditure of fuel.

A urtlier object of this invention is to provide a garba ee burnerembodying a nove container or pot, a hot air distributing member. atiltable grate and other instru` mentalities that can be easily andquickly assembled to provide a durable structured Vitli-l the above andother objects in View, tl'ie invention resides in' the novelconstruction, combination and arrangement of ar to be hereinafterspeciiically describe and then claimed, and reference will now be had`to the drawings, wherein- Figure l is a front levatioii of the garbageburner. partly broken away and partly in section; Fig. 2 is a verticalsectional view of the garbage burner; Fig. 3 is a horizon al., sectionalvieu' taken on the line lll- Ill o` 4 is a similar view taken on theliuc llflV of Fig. 2; and Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a detachedgrate adaptviews above referred to,

f' after referred vf l'laving the'y ends "'/'stablisl -.ng communicationed to form the bottoni 'of a loraniiiious re pot.

In describing my l desire to point out that l intend thesame as merelyillus'- trative of 'an example whereby my invention may be care to limittheV invention to the exact arrangement and construction of parts shown.The following description is therefore to be broadly construed asincluding substitute invention by aid of the f i appliedl in practice,and l do not arrangements andconstructions whichere.

the obvious eqiivalent of those to 'be hereinin" the drawings, thereference numeral 1 denotes a substantially rectangular base supportedby legs 2 and on. the base are ribs and lugs 3 tor correctly positioningthe stove proper.

The stove proper 'comprises an outer casvitali 4 provided with tirentside channels 5 to recei e the of inner and outer' paced ing havinglongitudinal connected ed es shells 6 and respectively, the inner-'shell.being ot' less length than the outer n thereofriveted or other- *wisesecured as at 8 to the outer shell. The.

' shells forno avertical lue or draft space '9 to which eir is admittedby a series of openings or pertorations 10 in the outer shell ad- 'acent'the lower' end thereof. The inner shell :nas the upper ends thereofprovided with a series of openings or perforations 11 between` the' andthe upper part of the draft space 9 p The upper edges ofthe outer stoveeasing. casing si'ipportsV a top or cover exhaustclifiinney or stack 13.

. The basel supports a Eire box 14, a garbage container-'or ppt 15 and adome 16, said elements being integrally formed, as best. shown `in rlhedomel has the top thereof prvidedwith aflanged opening 1 over which islitted a tine 18 that extends into the chimney or stack 13. The frontside of the dome 'lhas a' chute or opening 19 communicating with a`walled opening 20 or 'the frontk wall et and vsaid opening-is shell and12 having an normally closed by a door 21' or suitable" closure.

The garbage container or pot 15 is cylindrical` and oi. greater diameterthan the. base of the dome 16. At the junction of the 'pot 15 and' thedome 161' there is a lateral Licence enter between, the grate bars withsuflieient.`A

rapidity to consume dried portions of garbage, the iames will .pile upand enter the passages between the bars of the vertical grate Si, and asthe garbage is consumed the hot air issuing from the distributinginember 28, ignites with the inflammable gases and aids combustion.period of time, however, until the state of transcalency is reachedwhich insuresinlings are employed purposelyi'or easily removed from thereceptacle,

cineration of tli'egarbage by the gas flame, and duringthis timecombustion is sustained by the various air inlets of the stovestructure. l

With. the draft between the inner and outer shells (i and 7 of the stovecasini7 there is always e. sufficient amount of air entering the chimneyor staclr toscarry off heat and while some of the airis supplied throughthe medium of the openings i0 and il, an other quantity4 of air issupplied by the` openings 25. These last mentioned opensupplying thecentral distributair to the apron and quantities of air wili ing member28, .but

pass upwardly outside of thea-pron and.

enter the chimney 13.

From the foregoing it will be'gobserved that my invention possesses thecharacteristics and inherent advantages First, a foraminous fire pothaving a central air distributing member vthat permis oit the process ofcalcination being carried into effeet for rapidly consuming the garbageplaced in the pot. Second, a oraminous fire pot -for garbage that has acentral distributing member and an encirclingair heating chamber forsupplying air tosaid meinthiis permitting of waste matters beingconsumed Without retarding tlie'heating proclivities of the apparatus.Third, a iire and air feed incinerating receptacle that has a tiltablebottom. permitting of residue being able bottom being constructed towithstand an intense heat and such expansion and contraction to which itmay be susceptible during the operation of the garbage burner; Fourth, areduction apparatus embodying a receptacle having a drying chambertherein and means for supplying a drying agent to said chamber, therebysuggesting a structure other than the outline of a stove.

What I claim as my invention is z- ,i

1. In a gas burning garbage incinerator, a foraminous pot adapted tocontain garbage, an imperforate wall surrounding said pot lt is only ashortl 'carece bage,

following the' tilt- .les

:for maintaining a iieme against the garbage cooperating with saidvertical grate in proriding a foraminous pot adapted to containburnersbelow said tiltable grate, an' air heating chamber surroundingsaid vertical grate with the inner wall thereof de# iecting the dame ofsaid burnersl against garbage in said grate, and heating air adinittedto said chamber, and means for con ducting heated ai1 from the lowerpart of said chamber' to a point centrally of4 said vertical grate.

3. A garbage burner comprising a vertical grate, a tiltable grate at thebottom thereof cooperating with said vertical grate providing aoraminous pot adapted to contain gar`s burners below= said tiltablegrate, an air chamber surrounding said vertical grate dried andeventually burns eeY with the inner lwall thereof deilecting the lia-ineof said burners against garbage in said grate and heating air admittedto said cham bei',A and a perforated drying chamber loiigitudiiially ofsai-d vertical grate receiving air from said air chamber and dischargingair into the garbage iii the direction toward the flame attaching thegarbage. j

e.
